Cambuur welcome AZ Alkmaar at Kooi Stadium, Leeuwarden on Sunday, Oct 18 at 2:30 PM in a Eredivisie fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Cambuur come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). AZ Alkmaar, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 1D 1L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Cambuur won their last outing, while AZ Alkmaar suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

Despite playing at home, Cambuur face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. AZ Alkmaar have won 7 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in Cambuur won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Cambuur a slight edge, but AZ Alkmaar are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
